A perfect battleground for the ultimate team showdown.

Salt Lake City isn’t just a stop on the map — it’s the ideal home for the Challengers Cup. Set against the backdrop of the Wasatch Mountains, SLC combines big-city convenience with small-community warmth, making it easy for teams from all over North America to gather, compete, and connect.

Easy to Reach

Centrally located in the western U.S. with a recently updated major international airport that has direct flights across the country and attractive ticket prices, Salt Lake City is one of the most accessible destinations in the country. Salt Lake City also sits at the cross section of two major Interstates making it a convenient place to drive to (plus the scenery along the way is gorgeous). Whether you’re flying in from the coasts or carpooling in with your team from nearby states, travel is simple, affordable, and efficient.

Built for Players

Our event venue offers plenty of space, lighting, wonderful AC, free parking and comfort worthy of a top-tier Warhammer 40K event. Multiple restrooms, good ventilation, and quiet places for teams to huddle up and talk strategy are all nice perks that our venue offers. Hotels, dining, and entertainment are all nearby as well - so no long commutes and no hassle when it comes to downtime after a long day of gaming. Between rounds, you’ll find great food, drinks, and mountain views just steps away..

A City That Matches the Spirit of the Game

Salt Lake City thrives on community, creativity, and competition — values that perfectly mirror the Warhammer 40K scene. It’s a place where players from every faction and region can come together, celebrate the hobby, and enjoy an unforgettable weekend of camaraderie and challenge in a city that warmly welcomes and supports tabletop gamers: Salt Lake City is considered one of the geekiest cities in the country with countless game stores, a huge passion sci-fi, and a culture that loves pop-culture!
